Daytona Beach Shores adopts tentative 4.588 millage, approves $97.45 million tentative budget
Summary
The commission set a tentative operating millage of 4.588 mills — a 3.03% increase over the rollback rate — and approved a tentative FY2025-26 budget of $97,447,400; a final millage hearing is scheduled for Sept. 23 and a separate sewer-rate hearing for Oct. 7.
The Daytona Beach Shores City Commission on Sept. 8 adopted a tentative operating millage of 4.588 mills for fiscal year 2025–26 and approved a tentative budget totaling $97,447,400.
Mayor Miller opened the public hearing and City staff explained that the proposed 4.588 mills is 3.03% above the rollback rate of 4.4529 mills and that the nominal millage is unchanged from the previous year. Finance staff estimated the change would increase monthly property tax bills about $4.31 for a single-family home and $2.36 for a condominium compared with last year.
The finance director presented the citywide budget overview, saying the total reflects large capital and sewer projects. The general fund was listed at about $24.2 million and the enterprise (sewer) fund at roughly $43.6 million; staff said several sewer projects are grant-dependent and those grant outcomes will affect final accounting.
The commission set Sept. 23, 2025 at 6 p.m. in City Commission Chambers, 3000 Belle Meade Drive, Daytona Beach Shores, for the final millage and budget hearing. Separately, staff announced a public hearing on proposed sewer utility rate changes — a notice for a possible 6.71% sewer-rate increase — for Oct. 7, 2025 at 6 p.m. The commission approved the tentative millage and tentative budget by roll call votes recorded as 3–0.
The commission’s action is tentative: the Sept. 23 hearing will finalize the millage and budget after required public notice and any further public comment.
